The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1866

At that moment, Arabella kicked at one of the assailants, and then blocked the entrance to the basement with her slender frame, refusing to let them in.

Had they finally trapped themselves?

It seemed like the mastermind behind the scenes wasn't small-time; not only had they used knockout gas, they had also sent henchmen who were quite skilled.

She was suddenly curious about who was pulling the strings.

The group of hitmen exchanged glances before launching another attack on her.

The substantial security team of the Collins family arrived just in time.

"Don't come any closer," Arabella warned her personal guards, "make sure you take those capsules I distributed earlier first."

The team understood instantly that something was off with these hitmen.

Thankfully, Ms. Bella was prepared.

"Also, don't fall for their diversion tactics."

Arabella's words reminded the head of security, who ordered some men to return to their posts while the rest stayed to provide backup.

Sean was the first to arrive, and seeing so many hitmen, he said excitedly, "Caught in the act, huh?!"

Seeing his sister surrounded, he was about to charge in to help.

The head of security quickly held him back, "Ms. Bella instructed us to take these capsules."
